Overview
The Center for Data Science’s (CDS) Summer Research Initiative, developed as a part of the Data Science and Software Services (DS3) initiative, aims to introduce MS in Data Science students to research projects across NYU. CDS MS students are among the top data scientists in the country, and through this initiative, CDS connects its students with the wider university community and its various research opportunities while providing researchers around campus with highly skilled students for data science projects in their fields.
The summer research initiative is open to all, and we expect most NYU partners to have the funds to support student summer research. Unfortunately, at this time, funding through CDS is very limited and provided on a competitive basis.
To facilitate connections between students and researchers, CDS holds a research project fair in the spring. During this fair, invited researchers will have the opportunity to meet and discuss their open projects with interested students.
CDS is a world-class institute for Data Science research, and its students are diligent, highly skilled, and eager to work on real research projects wherever they exist in the university. They have been trained in graduate-level probability, statistics, machine learning, big data, and inference.
